Another School Year…..and how I made my kindergartener cry! {Boo.}

I’m still working out the Email RSS feed kinks.  Are you seeing any pictures today?  I’m crossing my fingers because all of this coding stuff is so tricky.  I don’t like emails or feeds without pictures either, so I’ve been trying to get them back in.  But this darn technology has been fighting me hard!

Re-purposing: Long Sleeve Shirt into Short, with Floppy Bow Shoulders

For those of you reading my posts in an email or RSS feed, I’m so sorry for all the craziness lately.  The feed was chopped, the pictures were removed, then a whole bunch of blog blurbs have been showing up.  Ack……what a pain!!!  With some help, I’ve been trying to iron it all out so […]

Re-purposing: Turn a Men’s Tie into a Boy’s Tie

Let’s talk neck ties.   My husband has always had a huge ol’ collection of them hanging in his closet.  He has always told me it’s the one thing in his “dressed-up” wardrobe, that he can really change up.  You know, dress pants and suit coats only come in so many colors…….so he likes having […]

Big ol’ Puffy Ribbon Flower Tshirt (yeah….crazy name!)

I got an email from one of you readers, who wanted me to make a shirt with a pig puffy flower on it.  (Yep, I’m talking about you Rebekah….ha!)  I loved it.  And told her I’d add it to my list of projects to try.   It was cute…..and I knew it would be darling […]

Teaching Kids to Sew, Part 3: Sleeping Masks & Super Hero Masks

Did your kiddo(s) shake you awake this morning, asking what kind of fun things you had planned for them today?  Mine did.  And they don’t usually like it when I say, “oh, how about we clean out your closets today?!”  “Or maybe we could separate laundry and put a few loads in the laundry!” Yeah…..they’re […]
